My most expensive problem

[toddb]

Everyday, I wake up and look for costs out of the ordinary. It is caused but what we call "bulls in the china shop". Someone has decided to go agressive on some term with a broadmatch. So my ad for widgets is now being pushed around by an ad for thingamagigs. I am either lower then I was or paying more then I was.

This other person is usualy on a term that will never sell there item and are paying a ton to be there so we just move aside for a day or two and they disappear. But we have noticed more and more of this and it is effecting costs.

I doubt there is a solution but what a pain.

you will always get a lot of comers - oops couldn't make money with that, goers... never to be seen agains..

we get that quite a bit in our industry as well. a lot of one man bands setting up a rubbish website with higher prices expecting to sell them online and compete with people who have good websites and much better prices.

They usually only last a month or two before realising that they cannot possibly make a profit from it then leaving for good.

I expect many more people to try it, but i know that we are here to last and they won't be.
